It so happened that obese men often face serious difficulties when choosing clothes. However, stylists help to solve this problem by giving general recommendations on the selection of details to create a stylish look.

Features of choice

  • Clothing must be true to size. Many mistakenly assume that wide, baggy clothes help hide figure flaws. However, this is misleading. A man who prefers such things will look sloppy and sloppy. Conversely, too tight-fitting models should be avoided, as they emphasize the fullness of the figure.
  • Moderation in colors. It is not recommended to use bright catchy colors and their combinations when creating an image. This makes an unnecessary visual emphasis on your figure. For the same reason, an abundance of drawings and applications should be avoided. Solid models of dark, deep color are very well suited for large men, and things in a narrow vertical strip, which visually "pulls out" the figure, also look advantageous.
  • Fabrics for tailoring. It is worth giving preference to light, soft materials with a low percentage of creasing. Stylists advise being careful when choosing heavy fabrics such as corduroy, tweed, velor, which create extra volume.
  • Shoes and accessories. It is worth choosing discreet accessories that are not burdened by an abundance of decorative details.A bright, voluminous belt buckle will draw unnecessary attention to the stomach, and a shiny watch with a large dial will visually shorten the wrist. With the same moderation, you should approach the choice of a tie. It should be of medium length, combined with the main tone of the clothes. In addition, a tie with a strict geometric shape can visually lengthen the upper body. It is recommended to choose shoes with a stable heel, and it is desirable that the color of the shoes matches the color of your trousers. This contributes to the visual lengthening of the legs.
  • Outerwear. Stylists advise to abandon down jackets and jackets filled with holofiber and synthetic winterizer. The most advantageous option for big men will be a coat of a strict classic cut or a thin sheepskin coat. However, you should give preference to models without patch pockets, a large number of large decorative buttons, since the excessive presence of details will create additional volume.

Now consider the points that should be considered when drawing up specific images and styles.

business style

One of the properties of business style is conservatism. And this is exactly what plays into the hands of overweight men, since classic suits in dark shades significantly hide fullness and add solidity to the image.

  • Blazer. For tall and overweight men, the best option would be a single-breasted jacket with a V-neck. It is desirable that the buttons are located at the bottom of the model, and there should be no more than three. The jacket should be worn buttoned up, as by unbuttoning it, you risk adding a touch of negligence to your image, which is unacceptable in this style.If you have a habit of putting useful little things in your pocket, then it is better to abandon it, as this will lead not only to a sloppy appearance, but also add extra volume.

The sleeves of the jacket should not be wide, it is better to let them be slightly narrowed. Keep track of the length of the sleeves too, too short will give the impression that the jacket is small for you, and excessive length will bring you a number of inconveniences. You should also be careful when paying attention to such a detail as the cut on the back of the jacket. It should be only one. Recommended colors are solid - black, dark blue, dark gray, an unobtrusive vertical striped print is allowed.

  • Pants. The color of the pants should ideally match the color of the jacket. It should be noted that models with arrows do not suit full people, so it is better to refuse them if possible. But if the dress code of your company insists on their presence, then it is better to choose a suit made of fabric with a laconic vertical stripe.

And you should also give up the habit of keeping your hands in your pockets, in which case it is even better to sew them up completely. If you have a large belly, then braces are a winning option for you. They securely fix the pants on your figure, eliminating their fall from the waist line. In this case, when sewing, it is worth adding one and a half centimeters to the length of the leg.

  • shirts. A great option is men's shirts with long sleeves in white or a soft pastel shade. It is best if they do not have pockets. Men with a thick neck should pay special attention to the shirt collar.

A wide collar with sharp corners is best suited. It is desirable that it does not have buttons, a pattern, or any other decoration.Small turn-down collars will not work either, they will visually increase the width of the neck.

Casual style

For the choice of clothing sets for everyday use, designers are advised to pay attention to the preppy style. This fashion trend came from the form of students of elite colleges. It is characterized by restraint in details and minimalism in accessories.

Things in this style, as a rule, are of high quality, comfortable and comfortable to wear. Also, for some overweight men, the Smart Casual style may suit, which combines things of a strict, classic format and quite simple, everyday clothes.

Of course, you will choose the criteria for choosing one or another direction yourself, taking into account temperament, lifestyle, preferences, and so on. We will only give some recommendations that will help you correctly compose the image, hiding the flaws of the figure.

  • Blazer. Very relevant item for everyday style. It is distinguished from a jacket by the absence of strict tailoring requirements. Overweight men are advised to wear a blazer that fastens with three buttons. Thanks to this, a crease does not form on the stomach, thereby removing unnecessary emphasis on this part of the body.
  • Pullover. When choosing a sweater, consider the material from which it is made. Due to the fact that overweight men tend to sweat more, it is better to purchase sweaters made of natural wool, cashmere and cotton. Stylists advise excluding large, bulky knit sweaters from the wardrobe. Layered collars will also make them look bulky, so when choosing a sweater, it's best to ditch them in favor of V-collars. Solid models with a vertical color pattern that visually stretches the torso look good on large men.Knitted vests should be chosen according to the same criteria.
  • Jeans. It is advisable to choose them with a slightly low waist to divert attention from the stomach. At the same time, shirts or T-shirts should not be tucked into them so as not to emphasize the waistline. Choose jeans in classic shades with a minimum number of overlays, patterns, applications. They will look great with a sweater, loose-fitting shirt or sweatshirt.
  • Home clothes. Everything is much simpler here. For home, you can choose a comfortable tracksuit or a soft bathrobe. Many large men prefer the latter as it has no fasteners or buttons, making it comfortable to wear.

Sporty style

  • T-shirts. When choosing T-shirts for sports, it is better to give preference to cotton products. Compared to synthetic, they are better breathable and hypoallergenic, which is an important factor for overweight men. The cut of the T-shirt should not restrict movement or, on the contrary, be very loose. It is highly recommended to abandon polo shirts, because they are somewhat narrower towards the bottom, which will certainly draw attention to the abdomen, which is highly undesirable for obese men. It is better to choose colors for T-shirts in more restrained tones, without bright, flashy patterns.
  • Pants. Ideal for overweight men, sports trousers in the best of a free cut. They will not restrict movement, and will also smooth out the shape of the figure. Pants with colored stripes will look advantageous, but it is desirable that they do not create a significant contrast with the main color. In winter, it is better to wear fleece-lined or fleece-lined sweatpants.
  • Sport jackets. An indispensable thing in the wardrobe for a man who prefers a sporty style.The most convenient option is a jacket with a zipper. As with a T-shirt, you should choose a jacket or "trowel" that does not taper at the bottom. Ideally, this is a straight-cut model, just below the waist, without cuffs. It should be free, but in moderation, to avoid baggy in appearance.
  • Hoodies. A good alternative to a sports jacket. As a rule, they are sewn from soft fabrics, which ensures comfort when worn. Overweight men are advised to choose a sweatshirt in deep, moderate colors with a minimum of patterns. Please note that the hoodie may not be suitable for everyone. If you have a massive neck, it is better to choose a model without a hood.

I agree, but not really. How can you wear a shirt with a wide-high collar with a short neck? Also, a shortened product of a straight silhouette will not decorate the figure at all, if the figure has normal hips, and the shoulders and chest are very wide.
